Mozilla Festival consumes world record amount of espresso

Starting this morning, buses will replace MBTA Red Line trains north of the
Harvard Square stop every weekend until March, with the exception of the
Christmas and New Year’s weekends.

The construction work means the Porter Square, Davis Square, and Alewife
subway stations will be shuttered Saturdays and Sundays. The station closings
are needed to allow T crews to make $80 million in repairs designed to keep
trains from derailing.

The buses will operate as frequently, if not more frequently, than trains,
an MBTA spokesman said.

Construction is expected to end March 4.

Until then, riders should keep in mind the following when traveling north of
Harvard Square:

■ Harvard Square Station: Outbound passengers will be
picked up in the upper busway of the station, while inbound passengers will be
dropped off in the lower busway.

■ Porter Square Station: Outbound buses will stop on
Massachusetts Avenue adjacent to the subway station entrance. Inbound buses
will stop on Massachusetts Avenue opposite the station entrance.

■ Davis Station: Outbound buses will stop in the
busway of the station. Inbound buses will stop on Holland Street, adjacent to
the station entrance.

■ Alewife Station: Buses will pick up and drop off
passengers in the busway, berths 1 through 5.
